Rare Fries, Virginia Large Size - Finest of Three Reported

Fries, VA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 The First National Bank Ch. # (S)12290 PMG Very Fine 25.
Another great Virginia rarity, this is one of just three large size reported from this institution that was the sole issuer in this Southwest Virginia community. With just $350 outstanding in large size notes in 1935, that scant total is not likely to increase. This is also easily the finest of the known trio as the other two pieces in the census grade no better than Fine-Very Fine. While it has had minor repairs, this $5 is bright and crisp with sharp ink colors and bold signatures, one stamped and one pen-signed.
